We did it!

For years, deforestation has been creeping into our home. Our fridge. Our lunch. Our coffee and the paper cups it comes in. 

But this is about to end, as the EU institutions have reached a historic deal on a new law that will keep products linked to deforestation off the EU market!
This regulation is the first in the world to tackle global deforestation and will significantly reduce the EU’s footprint on nature.

It is also a significant win for the global #Together4Forests campaign, which has brought together 220 NGOs to fight for a strong EU law against deforestation over the last two years.

Since 2020:

• 1.2 million citizens participated in the European Commission’s consultation on deforestation
• 78 companies came together to ask for a strong EU law
• 53,000 citizens sent letters to their ministers
• Renown European scientists spoke up 
• 206,000+ citizens sent personalised messages and memes to their Members of the European Parliament 
• 140+ artists weighed in with their support

#Together4Forests has been a true team effort, and the campaign has demonstrated what we can achieve when we join forces and rally behind the protection of the world's forests. 

Thank you for standing #Together4Forests!
